The Red Rock Public Library wants to put you to work!
Apply to be a Little Librarian!

For kids ages 6-12

Once selected, you will come to the library and create your very own book display! You can create your display based on any theme you want (think things like: space, travel, nature, graphic novels, kindness… be creative!) using books from the library, props found in the library or brought from home*, and by adding crafts or artwork!
You will be interviewed about your display and interests, and your interview plus a photo with your display will be posted on our social media!

*For any display items brought from home please keep in mind the library is a public space and displays will not be continuously monitored- do not bring anything of value as the library holds no responsibility if something goes missing. Thank you!
